Note The following table lists the status of individual Microsoft Knowledge Base articles. A separate Microsoft Knowledge Base article might not be created for each bug.

SQL Server Cumulative Updates are currently multilingual. Therefore, this cumulative update package is not specific to one language. It applies to all supported languages.

The "Download the latest cumulative update package for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 now" form displays the languages for which the update package is available. If you do not see your language, that's because a cumulative update package is not available for specifically for that language and the ENU download applies to all languages.

If additional issues occur or if any troubleshooting is required, you might have to create a separate service request. The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and to issues that do not qualify for this specific cumulative update package. For a complete list of Microsoft Customer Service and Support telephone numbers or to create a separate service request, go to the Microsoft support website.
